A method for determining the optimal state of the electrical network according to the criterion of minimum active losses using a genetic algorithm is presented. The algorithm is implemented in the programming language Visual Basic. The advantages of the proposed approach in comparison with the brute force are the reduced brute force required to determine the optimal scheme, the flexibility of setting the user controlled values. The practical significance lies in the possibility of implementing the approach of a distribution grid company and solving optimization problems in a timely manner. The algorithm was tested on 10-35 kV electrical network diagrams.
